โข The team that scores more goals than it concedes wins the match, while if both the teams score the same no. of goals, the match is declared drawn.
โข Ina match played between Team X and Team Y, if team X scores 1 and concedes none. then the score line would read: Team X โ Team Y (1-0)

C: (2-0) & (0-0) and (1-0) & (1-1)
D: (0-0) & (1-1)
E: (0-2) & (1-2) and (0-1) & (1-3)
F: (0-1) & (0-6), (0-2) & (0-5) and so on.
